A SINK OF INIoUITY.
Sacramento's Chinatown Said to be ,
Criminal CessnooI


Criminal Cesspool.
Every suggestion on the part of any citi-
! zen that locks toward freeing this CITY
from that incubus known as Chinatown.
has always been hailed with delight. and
were it to burn down to-day there are few
persons who would die with regrets at
the ravages of the flames. An eyesore to
residents. and place sought to be Stunned
by visitors, it still continues to stink and
foul the air with its poisonous fumes. il is
a sink OF iniquity for the youth, haven
OF rest for thieves, buns and tramps, and
taken altogether it is load that Sacra-
mento would like to shake Off Rev. F. ].
Masters, of the Chinese Mission in San
Francisco, gentleman who speaks the
Chinese language as fuently as he
does English, can read their writ
ing and is acquainted with all
their customs,sswas in this city yesterday,
and visited the Chinese quarters. He saws
without hesitation that the denizens of l
street are the most depraved lot of thieving
Chinese he knows of in California, and
doubts if worse set could be found in the
Flowery Kingdom. He says what makes
1t worse, the Chinese of this city who
openly and hagrantly violate the laws of
the State and city ordinances are under the
protection of the police force. In walking
down street he saw scores of signs calling
attention TO tan games that were rum
ming on the inside. Every one knows
that there is law prohibiting this kind of
gaming, but Mr.. Masters in the brief space
OF half an hour discovered no less than
thirty OF these games within a radius
OF four blocks, all running openly and
without of fat,o
knows that there is law prohibiting lot
terry games, yet in the same brief visit he
found fifteen of these games running
openly. On the posts in front of the games
were posted flaming bills, upon which are
written Lottery drawing every day at
noon." Every night at Y o'clock" step
inside and try your luck" Mark an
eight and win 800" MARK five and win
500" etc. When asked how they man.
aged to evade the law, the Chinese frankly
told him that they bought the officials, and
named the officer to whom they paid the
money. The tan games, thirty in number,
pay 50 per week, or $780, the lotteries, fif-
teen in number, So per week, or $45; the
prostitutes, 100 in number, 80 cents per
week, or $50, making a total Of S245 per
week, or total of $12,74 per annum
When asked if he believed that the China
men were telling the truth regarding the
matter he answered affirmatively. Not
only one told him this, but several and
many Chinese in Chinatown said it was
disgraceful affair; they knew they were be-
ing bled for :" hush money" and no peo-
pie in the world, either heather or en-
paid such tax willingly. 1t is
a reproach upon our civilization, and the
question arises, which is the better of the
two, the heather or his American ally =?
And yet the criticism of the RECORD UNION
upon the Grand Jurys failure to find in
dictments for gambling in the city is re-
garded by some of the jurymen as an I'M
just and unwarrantable expression of
oDinion

What Am I IN mo-

The symptoms of Biliousness are unhap-
PLY but too well known. They differ in
different individuals to some extent. A
Bilious man is seldom breakfast-eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids, but none for solids of
a morning. His tongue will hardly bear
inspection at any time; if it is not white
and furred, it is rough at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order, and Diarrhea or Constipation may
be symptom, or the two may alternate.
There are often Hemorrhoids or even loss
of blood. There may be giddiness and
often headache and acidity or fatulence
and tenderness in the pit of the stomach.
To correct all this, if not effect cure, try
Green's August Flower. 1t costs but a
trihe, and thousands attest its efficacy

Breadth of Mind VS.. Contracted NJ,

Breadth of Mind VS.. Contracted Meanness.
P. T. Barnum is coming to California. He
will tiud the northern citrus belt big enough
humbug to put in his museum.-.SdHtd Barbara
Press.
The Press is one of the best exchanges
that comes to our table. 1t is bright, enter
prising and marked BY ability and usually
accurate, but the inference left in the above
is unjust, and the spirit hardly as broad as
that which generally marks the Press and
which should characterize more of our
southern papers. The truth is the northern
citrus belt is neither myth nor humbug
We have seen oranges and lemons there as
fine as any in Southern California We
have seen them hang rich and yellow on
the trees in early December, and know
that they are the rival of southern growth
both in appearance and flavor. True, all
their country is not calculated to produce
citrus fruits, but they do not pretend that it
is. Still, there are thousands of acres along
the foothills, in what is known as the warm
belt, that have almost Southern California
climate. and why not recognize the fact.
We are not so weak and our cause is not
so frail as to need to misrepresent any local
ity. We can stand on our merits and we
ought to be proud TO do so. Besides the
whole State is one great commonwealth
and every patriotic impulse should prompt
us to seek to build up the Y hole country
There will come plenty of people TO our
golden shores. The whole East is aroused
We can share the benefits of a monster I'M
migration with our northern sister Counties
IT airy one likes them better than
they do the south it should be bis privilege
to live in them. What if they do poke a
little fun at our selling climate, and amuse
themselves by laughing at our beautiful
bay. We gather the fruits Of Natures
bieS sings and surely we can afford them the
laugh. And more, we believe that an
honest repro sentative Of north and south
alike is better for us. No people or bust
ness ever permanently won on basis of
unuuth. Let us be honest and truthful
with our northern sister counties and they
will he so with us, and we will profit by
it. For years California has been the sec
o,ld grain shipping State in the Union, and
all the grain came from The central part of
the State. Now California is shipping car
load after carload of fruit to Eastern mar
kets, but ii comes from the central part.
The truth is Northern and Central Califor-
MIA is a splendid country Compared with
the East it is like paradise in climate,
and is marvellous in production. We
would not belittle SO grand place, especi-
ally in sister counties OF State in which
we all have a common interest. We admit
all that is said in favor OF the north, but
we simply say the south-especially San
Diego-is better, better in hundred natural
ways, which it will be our pleasure to point
out at another time.-.Saa Diego Bee.

City Hall, Marysville, at 1 p. NJ. on
Saturday, November 18th,

For the purpose of taking into consideration
the recommendation of their Committee, which
is as follows: 1t is proposed 10 organize an Agr-
cultural Society, to be incorporated under the
laws OF the State, with capital stock of $4,000
divided into goo shares of $50 each. The prin-
cipal object is to create a more general interest
in our Annual Fairs and TO promote the welfare
of the District generally, for which purpose it
has been considered desirable that the Com
pany should acquire possession of the present
Fair Grounds and the Pavilion Building snd
maintain and uphold them in good shape for
agricultural and other desirable uses It is
further proposed that subscriptions be received
for one share and limited to five from any indi-
vidual. in order that none may have an over
whelmipg voice in the management and that
by creating large number of stockholders a
more extended interest in the agricultural Dis
tlict might thereby be promoted, and the man
agement and responsibilities may be more
evenly divided than heretofore and shared in
by the stockholders.
All who take an interest in the welfare and
prosperity of the District are earnestly re-
quested to attend the meeting.

In the Police Court yesterday All Sam
and All Cong were arraigned for refusing
to give their true names to the Assessor.
Both the defendants stated that they would
like to be tried, if at all, in the Capitol. as
they felt cramped in the Courtroom it
was not big" enough. They were both
found guilty, but All Cong asked that SEN
tence be deferred until to-day. A fine of
SIS was imposed on All Sam. J. Sveeny
and J. S. McCarty, held on q charge of petit
larceny, were dismissed for lack of prose-
cution, The case of Louis Schardt, booked
for battery, was disposed of in the same
manner. Paul Osuna, charged with bat
sery, in beating his wife, was dismissed, on
promising to do better in the future. TIE
chief motive for dismissing the defendant
was that he had family who could not
possibly get along without assistance. Tom
McInernay forfeited his deposit for being
drunk. L. p. r. Warner, the brutal wife
beaten, was sentenced to paw fine of 500
or be imprisoned in the County Jail 100
days on each of the two charges of battery

Presbyterian Convention Minute.

The convention of ministers and elders
belonging to the two branches Of the
Presbyterian church in East Tennessee,
held last week in Knoxville, passed the
following resolutions:
We desire, as far as in US lies, to bring
about the heartiest cooperation of the
two great bodies of the Presbyterian
church, which, in the providence of God
occupy the field of L. Tennessee, in
preaching the everlasting Gospel and la.
boring to build up the Kingdom of God
in this section; and, while recognizing the
separate existence Of the two branches of
the church and the ecclesiastical autho-
rity of the Presbyteries, we desire to
dwell together as brethren, and to exhib.
1t to the world ''the unity of the Spirit in
the bonds Of peace" Therefore,
ResolUed, That as brethren In Christ we
will foster the spirit of fraternity among
ourselves, and urge upon our people and
churches the cultivation of brotherly
kindness and Christian charity.
ResOlred, That we hereby recommend
the more frequent exchange Of pulpits, and
mutual aid of one another on communion
seasons and other special occasions, al
ministers of our respective bodies.
Resoloed, That we will request oul
respective Presbyteries to cooperate will
one another in every proper way to built
up the waste places and evangelize til,
destitute sections Of our country.
Res0lced, That we recommend the Pres

Communicated.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Allow me to correct a
date or two in the obituary notice Of Col.
Telford in your paper Of last week. Col.
Tclford was not elected to the legislature
in 1862, he was elected from the counties
of Hawkins, Greene and Washington, as
a Floater, at the August election 1851,
and took his seat in the House of Repre-
sentatives in October, 1851.
The state election of August, 1851, was
one memorable in the history of Tennes.
see; at that election Andrew johnson was
elected to congress from this district for
the last time; the Wings elected their
candidate for governor-Wm. B. Camp
bell, for the first time; our fellow-towns-
man Judge James w. Deaderick, then an
ardent Henry Clay Wing, was elected to
the State Senate from this district.
Brookins Campbell, a favorite Of the
Washington county Democracy in ante
bcllum days. went to the Legislature from
this county for the last time; two years
after that he slipped into congress over,
or rather between N. G. Taylor and A.
G. Watkins, but died December 20, 1858,
just at the beginning of the 33d congress.
The Legislature of 1851 was the last
Wing Legislature ever chosen in Tennes'
see; and Ex-Governor James G.. Jones and
John Bell were elected United States
Senators. Jones had twice led Tennessee
Wings to victory, defeating James X.
Polk for governor, both in 1841 and '43i
but inasmuch as Polk had the pleasure
of defeating the great Wing idol, Henry
Clay, for President in 1874, we suppose
he felt that he had gotten even with the
Wings of Tennessee. Jones, though, af.
ter a few years service in the Senate as q
Wing, having an eye single to the good OF
Jones, turned his back ON the gallant old
Wing party that had raised him up from
between the pillow handles and made hin
governor and United States Senator, and
allied himself to the Buchanan Secession
Democracy, hoping TO succeed himself
as Senator from Tennessee; but the Dem
ocratic Legislature of 1857, elected An
